Working with your existing school management or learning management system

SMS, SIS and LMS systems aren’t built for school communication. That’s why they provide only basic school communication functionality that doesn’t solve complex school communication issues and school attendance management needs. That’s why schools use MGM for school communication and attendance management.

MGM systems automatically extract parent contact, family grouping and other data from your current student or learning management systems. With MGM, there is no need to maintain multiple databases or for manual, time-consuming, error-prone uploading and updating of parent and attendance information.
